Finder generates no files and fails

[ereyred]

Hello, I'm running Finder from local installation, not Docker. I'm running with PE RNAseq.fq but no protein file. It makes the necessary output directories and protein dummy file in temp but no other output and it gives me the following error:

Status: Downloaded newer image for sagnikbanerjee15/finder:1.1.0
docker.io/sagnikbanerjee15/finder:1.1.0
done
Traceback (most recent call last):

The progress.log out put is:

My metadata file looks like this:

Thanks for your help!

Hello @ereyred,

Thank you for your interest in finder. We are aware of the issues in the previous version but we have decided to move forward with new improvements. As of now, we do not have any plans of fixing the issues in the previous version since they will be taken cared of in the new version.

Thank you.
